Latest arrest announced as university bolsters security on campuses.

NEW BRUNSWICK Another Rutgers University football player has been arrested on charges stemming from a series of home invasions allegedly perpetrated this spring by students, including another player at the time and a former player.

Terry is the sixth football player at the university to be charged this month with either the home invasions or a separate assault of a student in April. All players, including Terry, have been removed from the team as a result.

In all, 11 current and former Rutgers students are facing charges in these two cases.

News of Terry's arrest comes as university officials announce efforts to bolster security on campus.

The Board of Governors, the university's top governing body, is meeting Friday morning behind closed doors to discuss athletics issues. It is not clear what their discussion will be about. Embattled head football coach Kyle Flood also was being investigated by the university for allegedly violating a rule the prohibits coaches from contacting faculty members about student athletes.

Authorities say Terry was one of three masked robbers who forced themselves into a home on Prosper Street in New Brunswick on April 26.

The other two suspects in that robbery have been identified by authorities as former football player Tejay Johnson, 23, of Egg Harbor and Andre Boggs, 20, of Coatsville, Pa., who was kicked off the team after news of his arrest.

Johnson also is facing charges along with other football players in a separate assault of a university student on April 25 in the city. All of the students facing charges have been removed from the team.

Boggs, Johnson and another student charged in the home invasions, Jianan Chen, appeared in court Wednesday to plead not guilty. The attorney for Boggs described the alleged victims as drug dealers and doubted the evidence against his client. The three remain in jail as their attorneys appeal their bail amounts.

Bail for Terry was set at $175,000. He is being held at the Middlesex County Adult Corrections Center in North Brunswick.

The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office asks anyone with information on the cases to call 732-745-4054.

Beginning Thursday, the university will begin reaching out to nearly 10,000 students who live south and west of the College Avenue Campus to offer window alarms and light timers and advise them on ways to be more safety-conscious.

“The safety and well-being of all members of our community are a priority,” Chancellor Richard Edwards told The Record newspaper.

Edwards said 15 new recruits will be added to the 76-member university police department within the next few months and the department — in partnership with New Brunswick police — has boosted patrols.

Dozens of security cameras will also be added in nearby neighborhoods in addition to the 2,700 that already exist on the New Brunswick and Piscataway campuses, Edwards said. Students and staff can request escorts from the university police if they are returning to campus from other areas in the city.

The university also opened an office of off-campus living and community partnership, which is starting block watch programs and has purchased two patrol vehicles.

“We’re going to focus heavily on where we’ve seen a problem,” said Kerri Willson, the office’s director.

Rutgers last year implemented an expanded text-alert system to inform students and staff of serious crimes in the area.
